As am I, Jerome.
I lost my mother when I was about six.
Anyway, spending Saturday afternoons playing guitar and singing is the only way to spend Saturday afternoons.

Hey,
Well, I named my guitar Jean Pierre. Whenever I refer to him, everyone kinda looks at me weirdly. The only thing I can say to them is, "All the COOL people name their guitars!"

I play mainly pop and rock; anything to entertain my friends.
That's why I decided to learn guitar.

Hey,
This was a brand and slogan of a couch company:

OUR PRICES ARE SOFA KING LOW!

Try saying it a couple of times.

Hey,
A few friends and I have a band. Sort of.
It's called The Good People And Me. One of my friends doesn't actually do much, but sing "backup".
"Backup" as in sit there and echo what the vocalist is doing in a really annoying tone. But it's funny.
She came up with the band name. She's the "Me".

I liked "Eleanor Rigby". My absolute favourite. "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite", "A Day In The Life", "Across The Universe" and "Fixing A Hole" run close though. tongue

Hey Doc,
That was very interesting.... Very long too! big_smile
I haven't suffered any major injuries from instrumentally related accidents. Just things like callouses on my left hand, and two bleeding fingernails on my right from guitar. I did though, fall down a flight of stairs because of my saxophone. I was talking to my friends outside my classroom, at the top of the stairs. My saxophone case alone is about five kilograms plus the saxophone would of been about two kilos more. I dropped the saxophone on my foot, fell forwards down the stairs and landed on the case which resulted in a minorly twisted ankle and a bruise on my stomach.
That just proves how clumsy I am though.

Hey,
I play "Love is in The Air" by John Paul Young when I'm bored....
Or I play "You Got A Friend In Me" by Randy Newman.
Or "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by those brothers whose name escapes me.
Or a Monty Python Medley.
Or a Jesus Christ Superstar Medley. That's not so bad though.
You can imagine what this is like, when you can't actually sing.

Hey,
I find it shocking when I don't pick up my guitar at least once during a 24 hour period.
After that, if I'm away, I get either bored or I start to find other strange hobbies (like picking up piano. tongue).
Anyway, I do tend to miss my guitar.

Hey,
I totally and utterly agree with all the fantastic things that have been said about the Chordie community. This is the only other place where I can ask for help with my guitar-ing (besides my brother, but he'll try and tie in a bunch of other junk that I don't understand) without looking stupid.
Anyway, I was born in 1995, soon starting highschool, have been playing alto saxophone for three years (I still don't know how to spell 'saxophone') and I have just started piano for about a month. I started playing guitar at the beginning of this year. I have improved (or so I have been told) a lot after I started using this site. Everyone's just so.... nice here!
Long live Chordie!

Hey,
I know this topic's kinda dead but, I just heard this from my friend:
"Why do they call those American troops 'peacemakers' when they hold a gun?"
Sorry if that was controversial. I thought it was good.

Hey,
These are all pretty cool!
Don, that friendship one is almost intelligent! I applaud you.
Old Doll, yeah Ronan Keating is amazing. The rest of that verse in that song is pretty too.
Wish I could be like him in some ways!
